Heart prints

Winter has finally arrived and the year's first snowfall meant that we had to haul the winter garb out of storage before we could make a trip to the grocery store. Bud pulled on his boots and climbed into the car, but we were only a few feet into the store before he let out a howl of pain.

"Ow!" he yelled. "My foot!"

I leaned down to pull off his boot. "Where does it hurt, Bud?" I asked.

"My heart hurts!" he wailed.

My own heart skipped a beat. "Your HEART hurts?"

"My FOOT heart," he said, grabbing his foot and pointing to the bottom.

Wow, I stumbled across this story looking for info an Dierks' upcoming album and I was just floored! I knew Dierks was a very nice, down to earth guy, but this just solidifies him as my absolute favorite artist!
